This Cyclone machine recommends between 4.5 and 5 psi. for the exact same tire.
What is anyone else running??

I'm not going to argue about using 10 psi, but it seems excessive to me, unless you are setting the bead. We usually use half that. First bike I ever used was back in 1982 on a yamaha, but even back then we only ran about 5 psi. Mind you that was back in the day of no suspension and if you ran higher pressures in the tires, you had a rougher ride. The only time we knocked a bead off was when we had a little upset and usually the tire bead was the least of the problems!
